"Unity?"

I was reading voting trends of inner city residents, and blacks vote for the black candidate 90% of the time, sometimes all the way up to 95%. Why doesn't anyone comment on the fact that one group of people in this country vote solely based on the color of one's skin. Evil white conservatives get yelled at for doing this, but it is clear which group actually does it. Of course the answer is PC.

so, what about white people? are you saying that they are more likely to vote for a black person?

You really can't be that slow, can you?

You are implying that black people are racist because they are only voting for other black people. I am just wondering if you hold whites to the same standard?

First, you assert, without justification, that black people vote this way because of skin color, without any reasoning or evidence, but rather just because that's what you believe.

Next, you assert that it is only the black community "which ... actually does it". I'm just making the point that without examining if white people do the same thing, your post is (once again) meaningless.

Do white people vote for white candidates 90% of the time...no, so you have no point...
Liberals hate it when the truth is told about anyone, they quickly toss out the race card and PC words.
It is a flat out fact that anytime there is a black candidate running against a white one, blacks vote in as consistant of numbers as Iraqis who voted for Saddam.
It doesn't happen in ANY OTHER group, none.

There you go with the sloppy logic again. In your post, you said you were reading voting trends of INNER CITY RESIDENTS.

You like to point out the voting trends of black inner city residents, your second favorite group to criticize, but you ignore the voting patterns of rural whites. How many of them do you think will be voting for a black person any time soon?

So, how many times have YOU voted for a black politician?

And you still haven't brought forth any reasoning or analysis to show that they are voting for the black candidate BECAUSE OF RACE!!! How do you know that they aren't voting for the black candidate because of party affiliation or (gasp) because they agree with them on the issues?

I am not one to call racism lightly, but I really think that you are implying that black people in the inner city are too stupid to vote their own best interests, and that they are so ignorant that they are unable to see past some supposed "race baiting" by Democrats.

Perhaps you could explain why I am mistaken...

Well, Milwaukee inner city residents voted on the ballot a guy who is in jail for many, many charges and will never get out. I guess they agree with him on the issues...
To knock down your comment about rural whites, I believe Obama beat clinton in WI, so that ends that stupid comment.
I teach in the inner city and hear what the kids and adults say. They are not interested in ANYTHING that is perceived at white, period. Sorry that sounds racist, but it is a fact. Obama did not get support until he was considered "black enough".
What does that statement mean? I am not the one who made it up.
It's a sad face, one that I'm sure you are unable or unwilling to accept, but every comment, every poll, every election shows that black inner city residents vote for the black candidate over 90% of the time, a trend not duplicated by any other group.
Also, no other group votes in someone who stole money from his own community, tried to have someone killed and is in jail if you want to talk about values.

Obama beat Clinton on the strength of his victory in urban areas such as Milwaukee, Madison, etc.

Clinton carried the rural areas.

These liberals are completely clueless.

They've been preaching that you can't talk about abortion unless you're a man, you can't talk about economics unless you're poor, and you can't talk about race unless you're black.

Then they have the audacity to believe that no one has been indoctrinated by their teachings. Unfortunately, the evidence indicates otherwise.

The Game said...

Who I personally vote for has nothing to do with this, but I voted for David Clarke the last two times he was on the ballot...so I guess you lose the arguement since you made that the main issue...
Another great thing I heard today on THIS issue...
A talk show host had black voters call in and talk about this exact race...
I heard three callers, ALL OF THEM admitted that MANY (not all, that was never the point) vote based on skin color alone...
I know that blows your whole liberal PC world into little bits, but it is a fact. Many, many more blacks vote based on race than whites. That was the point of the post, and it is a fact. It will be proven true on Tuesday.

The Game said...

And to make it clear...I didn't say EVERY black voter was racist and voted only on race...but I simply can not believe that blacks are the ONLY group that can agree in such great numbers based on the issues.
There are SOME in every group who vote based on race or gender or something that they SHOULD NOT be voting based on...
But based on what people say to me and what I see and based on logic...a much larger number of blacks must be voting based on race. they have told me themselves, they call in to talk shows and admit it, they admit it in church. I'm sorry you can't admit that, but it is possible to point out something negative about a minority group without it being racist.
However, there is no doubt that some of your points are factors as well.

Larry Elder has a book out the title of which is something like, "Ten Things You Can't Say In America", or words to that effect. In it, and I haven't read it yet but it looks interesting, he claims blacks are more racist than whites in America and backs it up in some way. I wonder if voting patterns is part of it.

Oh yes. And we haven't voted for a black person because there haven't been too many black conservatives for whom to vote. I would have loved to have voted for JC Watts, but I don't live in Oklahoma.

I'm glad to see that you are trying to walk back that absurd claim. I guess that's the closest that you can get to an admission of error from a conservative.

Obviously, many black people use race as the most important factor when deciding their vote, just like many other people use religion or other factors that have nothing to do with the office that they are running for.

But in your original post, you didn't say that "a much larger number of blacks must be voting based on race" like you are claiming now. You said that black people, as a groupt, use race as the SOLE DECIDING FACTOR. Anytime you make a negative observation about an entire race of people - Well, that's racism. I'm sorry if you don't admit it.

And we haven't voted for a black person because there haven't been too many black conservatives for whom to vote.
You are willfully ignoring the double standard here.

Assuming that Obama is the Dem. nominee, you are saying that this fall, when you vote for McCain, you are voting based on your well-thought out belief system and who best matches it. Meanwhile, the ignorant inner city black voters, you are implying, are going to vote for Obama "soley based on the color" of his skin.

When you say that "one group of people in this country vote soley based on the color of one's skin", you are making a negative generalization about an entire race, and that's racism.

You are not reasonable or socially aware enought to understand that in the black community, "race" is shorthand for "culture" and that when they say that they are voting based on race, that this includes a host of cultural issues, just as when you vote, you are taking into account a host of cultural issues. That's why most of these voters that say that they vote based on "race" would still vote for Hillary ahead of, say, Alan Keyes.

But, I guess expecting a conservative to make a deeper analysis of race issues, or most any issue, is pointless. Their brains are wired to only see black or white, with us or against us, all or nothing.

They call that "lizard brain" thinking.

well there ya go, if I was not clear in the beginning I am now...

Realism,

I ignore nothing here. My point is that if there was a black conservative amongst the choices of my party primary, he would be a possible choice barring any negatives that would barr him from it. His/her skin color would have nothing to do with it.

But as we've seen time and time again, the Democrat of any color has been less than a friend to the black community with their socialist policies and Barry, being more socialist than most of them, would hardly be a step up. What else could they be basing their vote upon? Any way you want to look at it, skin color is playing more a role in his support, and that would be amongst his white supporters as well, than anything things else.

Realism said...

I am willing to agree with you that Barry's skin color gained him a lot of votes in the black community, just like Hillary's gender gained her a lot of votes in the female community and Bush's Methodist faith gained him a lot of votes in the United Methodist community.

That much is obvious.

My problem with this post, the issue that you are bending yourself into a pretzel to ignore and that Game has since clarified, is that to say that black people in this country "vote solely based on the color of one's skin." is not correct.

I was also pointing out that it seems a little absurd for you to claim that your voting for white candidates is due to a well reasoned ideological similarity, whereas a black person votes for other black people not based on the informed reasoning processes that you used, but rather, a blind, ignorant allegiance to race. Especially since there is probably a great deal more ideological uniformity in the black community than in the white community.
